Tipping

I am quite serious in that I have always thought that people who lead tipping know nothing about football….which I know I have said before…..but there you go.

Sorry Bec, I have regained the number one spot on Rodneys tipping ladder, which unfortunately Rod is at the bottom of, right near St Gaz….

I dont expect to stay at the top for long…so I will enjoy it while it lasts…

Tarrat BOG

Great win today…..came back after the young running Hawks took a decent lead over us.

Chris Tarrant played a great unselfish game….clearly Best on Ground.

Kicked a couple, but more importantly worked really well with the other players, setting up goals and creating a spark across the half forward line.

Hawthorn are a great side, and should easily account for a lack lustre Saints next week, who had a pretty lucky win at home against the Swans.

But of course, the best news of the weekend was that not only did the flat running side the Weagles got beaten, but sanity has been restored and they are no longer on top of the ladder.

Faith

Someone who does not know the bible well, might think it is some super spiritual book, well it certainly is that, but it is also the story of some very ordinary people. Its just that often they find themselves in extraordinary conditions, and they certainly find themselves engaging with an extraordinary God.

Church for the well behaved

Seth Godin is brilliant….this post made me think
“More perfect
Most people in the US can’t cook. So you would think that reaching out to the masses with entry-level cooking instruction would be a smart business move.

In fact, as the Food Network and cookbook publishers have demonstrated over and over again, you’re way better off helping the perfect improve. You’ll also sell a lot more management consulting to well run companies, high end stereos to people with good stereos and yes, church services to the already well behaved.”

woh Seth! Slow down a bit…..
Churches for the well behaved might be ‘succesful’ in that they get bigger. But they are not succesful if you consider that the Church actually exists to bring people to Christ, to see their lives transformed……

Its a lot harder, but we are not succesful if we grow a big church, we are succesful if we see people who never used to follow Christ, start to follow him.
